After following the
long and winding road to the put-in at Briar Patch, we found there was a whole
lot a shaking goin' on due to the swarms of gnats. The drivers all took off
to run the shuttle, got on the magic bus captained by Val and made it back in
record time. Soon we were all rollin' on the river.
Kayaks - M&M, Marvin,
Kati, Judy, Tracie. Canoes - L&J, Fred. It was hotter than a pepper sprout
and we were soon splish, splash takin' a bath to cool off. Regrouping at lunch,
Tracie said, "Help! I need somebody, just not anybody, I need somebody
with a fork!" Scott, who was just hangin' out scouting the river, provided
the utensil from his well stocked truck. Post lunch Kati got by with a little
help from her friends in the form of Fred loaning his new canoe for a try,
concluding with a few hints on stalking and capturing river garbage.
Kati is
well on her way to becoming the trash princess. At the end it was Happy Trails
to you and we'll meet again some day.
